The purpose of this study was identify factors influencing dementia nursing performance among long-term hospitals nurses. Participants were 161 long-term hospitals nurses. Data were collected with structured qustionnaires from November 4 from December 13, 2019. Data were analyzed SPSS/WIN 21 program for descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. The significant factors of the dementia nursing performance among long-term hospitals nurses were dementia attitude (β=.280, p=.001), nursing professionalism(β=.237, p=.006), burden form BPSD(β=-.174, p=.012), and dementia education experience(β=.166, p=.014). Therefore, in order to improve dementia nursing performance among long-term care hospital nurses, it is necessary to develop program and apply dementia education to establish a positive dementia attitude and nursing professionalism, and to reduce the burden of dementia behavioral and psychological symptoms.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships between nursing students' knowledge on dementia, care performance, and empathy, thus providing the foundation of dementia patient nursing intervention strategies for nursing students. For the analysis to examine the relationships, this study used descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The analysis showed that the higher students' year of study and the higher their interest in dementia (F=5.02, p=.008), the higher their knowledge on dementia (t=-4.03, p<.001), and also that the higher their satisfaction with clinical training (F=3.91, p=.023), the higher their care performance. It was found that nursing students' knowledge on dementia and their care performance (r=.21, p=.023) were positively correlated at a statistically significant level. Based on the results, this study suggests the need to develop and utilize education programs that can help students gain knowledge on dementia prior to clinical training so that they can have more knowledge on dementia and be encouraged to practice caring for patients with dementia.

Due to the increasing global prevalence of dementia, such as Alzheimer disease, there is a growing public health concern about its prevention. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review for a narrative synthesis and critical appraisal of current published research related to dementia prevention programs among Koreans. To conduct a systematic review, the data bases KoreaMed, Riss4u and 9 Nursing Journals were searched using the key words dementia prevention and cognitive function. Articles published between 2000~2014 and related to dementia prevention programs were reviewed. Two hundred-fifty references were searched but only 29 studies met our inclusion criteria to review. We found that dementia prevention programs focused on: exercise, 11 studies (37.9%); multi-therapy, 9 studies (31.0%); and cognitive enhancement activity, 4 studies(13.8%). The majority of studies (n=19, 65.5%) included adults over 65 while two studies targeted adults over 75. The current literature indicates that future research is needed to develop and provide appropriate and effective dementia prevention programs among Korean older adults.

This study was to develop a dementia prevention integration program and apply to elderly women living alone to evaluate the applicability of the program. Fifty-six participants who enrolled at local public health centers were assigned. The control and experimental groups were assigned to 28 subjects. As a result of the study, the integrated program for prevention of dementia showed that the experimental group was more effective as the self-practice program than the control group. Therefore, This program is considered to be a self-practice integrated dementia prevention program. In the future, this program should be revised and supplemented and extended to the local community, So it is necessary to seek a nursing intervention strategy that subjects can continuously practice.

Purpose: This study was to compare the effects of individual and group intervention programs on the demented elderly and their families. Methods: The programs were applied to two groups, one by home visiting and the other by group intervention. The groups were composed of 14 elders and 12 elders, respectively, with their families. The programs were applied twice a week, ninety minutes per session for four weeks. Programs consisted of cognitive therapy, music and art therapy, and massage for the demented elderly, education on dementia, cognitive-behavioral intervention for problematic behavior, methods to lessen stress, and counselling for the families. Results: AER, problematic behavior, QOL of pts and QOL, caregiving burden, and relationship with the pts of caregivers were improved after each program but not significantly except QOL of pts (Z=-3.37, p=.00) in the group intervention. When the two interventions were compared with each other, the group intervention program was more effective than the home visiting program in all variables but not significantly except QOL of pts (U=32.00, p=.00). Conclusion: In summary, both the individual and group intervention programs were helpful to both pts and families, and even though there was no statistically significant difference between the two intervention programs except in QOL of pts, the group intervention was more effective.

This study was to investigate the factors influencing job satisfaction of nurses in long-term care hospitals focusing on burnout and burden. The participants were 206 nurses recruited from long-term care hospitals in B metropolitan city and C city. Data were collected from January to March, 2014 and analyzed using SPSS WIN 18.0 program. The frequency of experience was $1.65{\pm}0.42$, which is 4~5 times per month and once or twice per week in the problematic behavior in dementia. The frequency of burden was $1.46{\pm}0.48$, which means one nurse can solve the problematic behaviors in dementia. Burnout was $2.53{\pm}0.61$, and job satisfaction was $2.87{\pm}0.45$. Negative correlations were found between burden and job satisfaction (r=-.256, p=.003), and between burnout and job satisfaction (r=-.718, p<.001). A factor influencing job satisfaction was burnout (${\beta}$=-.735), which explained 57%. It is suggested that Intervention programs should be developed to reduce burnout and burden, and to increase job satisfaction for nurses.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program on the cognition, anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior of elderly with dementia. The research design was a non-equivalent control group, quasi-experimental study where 43 subjects were divided into two groups. Aromatherapy and foot reflex massage was administered to the experimental group (N=21), and no treatment was administered to the control group (N=22). The data was analyzed using the ${\chi}^2$-test, t-test, while the repeated measures of ANOVA were utilized with the SPSS/Win 18.0 program. The experimental group did not show significant differences in cognitive function; however, it showed significant differences in anxiety, aggressive behavior, and wandering behavior in relation to the control group. Thus this research suggests aromatherapy and a foot reflex massage program as nursing intervention to improve the quality of life of elderly with dementia.

We aimed to provide evidences for developing non-pharmacological intervention in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) by integrated literature review. The final 16 papers were selected as a result of an integrated literature analysis. All of them are focused on strengthening cognitive activities, while Korean studies have often merged emotional activities such as music therapy and laughter therapy rather than physical activities such as exercise therapy, international studies have combined physical activities rather than emotional activities. The effects of non-pharmacological intervention differed according to the outcome variables. The primary variables were cognitive function and depression, and secondary variables were found to have effects on physical function, activities of daily living (ADL), and self-efficacy. This study contributes to a multidisciplinary approach that can be applied in the clinical field through the development of various non-pharmaceutical intervention for the prevention of dementia in the older adults with MCI.
